Was down in Mississippi not so long ago When a young boy from Chicago town Walked in a Southern door This boy's fateful tragedy You all should remember well The color of his skin was black And his name was Emmett Till Some men, they dragged him to a barn And there they beat him up They said they had a reason But disremember what They tortured him and did some things Too evil to repeat There were screaming sounds inside the barn There was laughing sounds out on the street Then they rolled his body down a gulf Amidst a blood red rain And they threw him in the waters wide To cease his screaming pain The reason that they killed him there And I'm a-sure, it ain't no lie 'Cause he was born in black-skin barn He was born to die And then to stop the United States Of yelling for a trial Two brothers, they confessed That they had killed poor Emmett Till But on the jury there were men Who had helped the brothers commit this awful crime And so this trial was a mockery But nobody there seemed to mind I saw the morning papers But I could not bear To see smiling brothers Walkin' down the courthouse stairs For the jury found them innocent And the brothers, they went free While Emmett's body floats the foam Of a Jim Crow southern sea cccBut if all of us folks that thinks alike If we gave all we could give We could make this great land of ours A greater place to live Songwriters Robert Dylan If you can't speak out against this kind of thing A crime that's so unjust Your eyes are filled with dead men's clay Your ears must be filled with dust Your arms and legs They must be in shackles and chains And your mind, it must cease to flow For you to let our human race Fall down so God-awful low This song is just a reminder To remind your fellow man That this kind of thing still lives today In that ghost-robed Ku Klux Klan But if all of us folks that thinks alike If we gave all we could give We could make this great land of ours A greater place to live This part of lyrics hits home most for me thats why I post on racism often RHB peace to us all Edited 1 time(s).

Words by Woody Guthrie, Music by Ryan Harvey I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts When he drawed that color line Here at his Beach Haven family project Beach Haven ain't my home! No, I just can't pay this rent! My money's down the drain, And my soul is badly bent! Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower Where no black folks come to roam, No, no, Old Man Trump! Old Beach Haven ain't my home! I'm calling out my welcome to you and your man both Welcoming you here to Beach Haven To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place To have your kids raised up in. Beach Haven ain't my home! No, I just can't pay this rent! My money's down the drain, And my soul is badly bent! Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower Where no black folks come to roam, No, no, Old Man Trump! Old Beach Haven ain't my home! *The recorded version of this song is available on iTunes. Silence Not an Option': Calls Grow to Disrupt Trump Inauguration ERACEISIM Edited 1 time(s).

Date: February 15, 2017 04:04AM What are the words to "La Cucaracha"?
What are the words to the song "La Cucaracha"? Every person I asked at school didn't know beyond the title. Even my parents did not know. I am using my parents' E-mail to ask you. — Liz Cecil replies: Happy to oblige, kiddo, but some people aren't going to be pleased. "La Cucaracha," one of Mexico's best-known folk songs, doesn't put the ideal spin on life south of the border. The U.S. may have amber waves of grain; the UK has jolly jolly sixpence; Mexico has … cockroaches. The Mexican Tourism Board can only hope monolingual Yankees don't realize what the title means. As possible evidence on this score I note that in Minneapolis, the Kyoto of midwestern culture, La Cucaracha is the name of a restaurant. Somebody really ought to clue these people in. But you wanted the lyrics. One complication is that there are about five million verses, many of them proof of how creative you can get on a couple quarts of Dos Equis at three o'clock in the morning. Here are the two most commonly quoted: La cucaracha, la cucaracha Ya no puede caminar Porque no tiene, porque le falta Marijuana que fumar. (The cockroach, the cockroach Now he can't go traveling Because he doesn't have, because he lacks Marijuana to smoke.) You can see how closer acquaintance with the lyrics does not improve the PR situation. Sometimes the last line is replaced with a bowdlerization such as limonada que tomar (lemonade to drink), but if you're old enough to be messing with dad's E-mail program, you're old enough to know the truth. To continue: Ya la murio la cucaracha Ya la lleven a enterrar Entre cuatro zopilotes Y un raton de sacristan. (The cockroach just died And they carried him off to bury him Among four buzzards And the sexton's mouse.) You're thinking: Mexicans are strange. But there's more going on here than meets the eye. "La Cucaracha" is the Spanish equivalent of "Yankee Doodle" — a traditional satirical tune periodically fitted out with new lyrics to meet the needs of the moment. The origins of the song are obscure, but apparently it's pretty old. Some verses I came across refer to the Moorish wars in Spain, which concluded with the conquest of the Moorish kingdom of Granada by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492. (Obviously 1492 was a big year for Ferdinand and Isabella on a number of fronts.) Probably the song itself doesn't go back that far, but in an 1818 book, according to one source, the Mexican writer Jose Joaquin Fernandez de Lizardi claimed the song was brought to Mexico from Spain by a captain of marines. One can find "La Cucaracha" lyrics commemorating 19th-century conflicts in both Spain and Mexico, but verse production didn't really get rocking until the Mexican revolution of 1910-1920. So many stanzas were added by partisans on all sides during this period that today, despite its Spanish origin, the song is associated mostly with Mexico. Included among the new lyrics were the verses quoted above. Some say the jape about marijuana was directed at the dictatorial Mexican president Victoriano Huerta (ruled 1913-1914), ridiculed by his many enemies as a drunk and dope fiend who lived only for his daily weed. No doubt the four buzzards and the sexton's mouse were lampoons as well. Some claim la cucaracha refers solely to Pancho Villa, the bandido/revolutionary general who eluded U.S. troops following a 1916 attack on an American border town, only to be assassinated in 1923. Others say the word refers solely to Villa's car or to the soldaderas, female soldiers/camp followers who provided cooking and other comforts to the various armies. These claims are undoubtedly false — the identity of the cockroach varied with the verse — but still, one shudders. If no one knows the verses to "La Cucaracha," it's probably just as well.

"Eve Of Destruction" lyrics Barry McGuire Lyrics "Eve Of Destruction" The eastern world it is exploding Violence flarin', bullets loadin' You're old enough to kill but not for votin' You don't believe in war but whats that gun you're totin'? And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin' But you tell me Over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today? If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy And you tell me Over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Yeah my blood's so mad feels like coagulating I'm sitting here just contemplatin' I can't twist the truth it knows no regulation Handful of senators don't pass legislation And marches alone can't bring integration When human respect is disintegratin' This whole crazy world is just too frustratin' And you tell me Over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Think of all the hate there is in Red China Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama You may leave here for four days in space But when you return it's the same old place The pounding of the drums, the pride and disgrace You can bury your dead but don't leave a trace Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace And tell me Over and over and over and over again my friend You don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Mmm, no, no, you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Edited 2 time(s).

Original Song Title: "Blame It On The Bossa Nova" Original Performer: Eydie Gorme Parody Song Title: "Blame It On Barack Obama!" Parody Written by: Bob Gomez The Lyrics Stephen Colbert sees the empty podium at the RNC, grabs the microphone and begins to sing. It was long ago In 2008 When that handsome bro' Was a candidate-- He began to speak, Hypin' hope-y change, And soon the Bush Recession had a brain! Blame it on Barack Obama, And the QE2! Blame it on Barack Obama-- It was on Fox News! Who cares if he got us past that nasty hump, He's why we ended up with Donald Trump! Blame it on Barack Obama, It's all his fault! (Who caused stocks to boom?) No, not Barack Obama! (Unemployment tank?) No, not Barack Obama! (He'll Bar-exit soon!) Yeah, yeah, Barack Obama! The Prez, no thanks! (Instrumental organ, engines revving, General Motors bailout sounds, economy heating up) Now the ACA Is in full effect And the married gays Command respect-- With Osama dead, ISIS in retreat-- Take one wild guess who's feelin' all the heat? Blame it on Barack Obama, With black ops and drones! Blame it on Barack Obama, And his big cohones! When Scalia passed away, well obviously We couldn't fill the seat, let Hillary! Blame it on Barack Obama, It's all his fault! (Wolfowitz and friends?) No, no, Barack Obama! (Condoleezza Rice?) No, no, Barack Obama! (Soon the nightmare ends!) Yeah, yeah, Barack Obama! Elected twice! (Key change, bonus verse, kind of like a third term 
Breaking news just in: Bernistas agree, "Let's unite and win With Hillary!" And when grandkids ask How it came about-- I'm gonna say to them without a doubt: Blame it on Barack Obama, It's in black and white-- Blame it on Barack Obama, Our mulatto knight! As political post-racists we began With a wonky Constitution man, Blame it on Barack Obama! The Princely Prez! (Oil production's down?) No, no, it's up, Obama! (Now gas price is low?) So what, Barack Obama! (TPP's unsound?) Yeah, yeah, Barack Obama! That handsome bro'! (Global warming, why?) Because, Barack Obama! (What about the debt?) (Fade) No, no, let's knock Obama...
